1. ant calls "compile" target in travel_web/build.xml.
2. "compile" target depends on "dependencies" target,
   so "dependencies" target is called.
3. "dependencies" target calls "subant" task.
4. "subant" task calls "jar" target in the same build.xml.
5. "jar" target depends on "dependencies" target in the same build.xml,
   then build failed to avoid infinite dependency loop.

Hope this helps.
